If invading iraq really was to help the people there, even though they have cars and nightclubs and food....?

Question

then how come we dont invade ethiopia, or ruwanda? dont those people need help too?

Answer 1

That was never the purpose. The purpose was to obliterate the thread of WMD, which Iraq was known to have (it had used them), and for no other reason. (The weapons were shipped off to Syria starting in June 2002.)

Answer 2

Thank you so much for asking that question. Excellent observation. Theres no way in hell that Iraq was invaded to help the people there, because by world standards Iraq was a well off community that supported its population. Iraq was invaded for oil and to also assert american influence over a society that had the potential to rise up and threaten the american way of life.

In addition if a place is invaded for the sole purpose of aiding a population then there would be no need to carry tons of fire power and weapons, the people would welcome the assistance with grateful hearts.

Answer 3

well, first thing first, i don't believe on wars & invasions.

but 4 ur question, here is my answer:
technology doesn't humanity, there is much much more tht a man needs like, security, freedom of speech, & the ability to express ur ideas & thoughts.

U can't fix the whole globe but u can try & make some places better as much as u can.

But why did the American invade the Iraq? Well, I think it is a combination of freeing the people, providing a better place, using their oils , & removing a possible threats.

But as i said, i don't believe in wars, if u want to help someone, help him by embowering him & making him to stand up 4 himself.
I mean, yes they remove Sadam, & yes they want to make a better place, but wht if another dictator came to rule, well they fought him or will they wait 4 the Americans to free them again

Answer 4

We also helped build them an economy that they have never had... And alot of the cars/nightclubs/food they have are thanks to us. And I do believe we are going to finish a job we already started. Our military cannot just go out to every place in need at once, it needs to take each one at a time.

Answer 5

We didnt go there to help them. However in answer to your question. I believe the concept was to help them with democracy, not make sure they have enough night clubs. We dont help African countries because they have nothing to offer us.
